Redback on its way - but which labels???????
« on: November 05, 2009, 01:01:35 AM »
I have taken the plunge and Gary is kindly making me a lovely bat.
I have opted for a hybrid type Redback. A cross between the Allegiance and Surefire.
But I now have to decide which stickers I would like on it - the nice red Surefire, or the class blass Allegiance?

What do you guys think???

I was thinking the Allegiance straight away, but have made that age-old mistake of looking at the Surefire and thinking how nnice those new red stickers look against a white drip! DOH!!!

Why do i torture myself like this!!!

I have the weekend to think about it and make up my mind!

I've got the Allegiance stickers, and use white grips.  Definitely the way forward!

Ok - that sounds nice!
The black Allegiance stickers and white grip!
I think that would work well!

I would def pick the allegiance stickers mate! I think I'll be ordering one closer to the start if next season. What is the profile going to be like, I know you said a hybrid of both, but which aspects?

Had a good chat with Gary and decided on the following spec:

Weight: 2-11/12
Grade: Premier (8-10 grains)
Profile: Allegiance / Surefire
Getting it pre-knocked in by hand.

But it will be similar to the Allegiance in profile, but I wasn't concerned with huge edges.
So Gary will be making the edges slightly thinner, but adding more wood to the meat of the bat.
It should mean a longer and wider sweet spot. And a more forgiving blade.
I guess it should also mean it will go like a bullet if I get it anywhere near the middle of the bat!!

Oh yeah - and also Black Allegiance stickers with a white grip........probably!!!

I must admit that I'm seriously looking forward to it arriving!
Gary said it should be the back end of next week. And will have camera poised ready to post pics on here!
